Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, The Boys) claims that he was up for the lead role in 20th Century Studios’ Deadpool movie. During an appearance at the Salute to Supernatural convention in Phoenix, Ackles said that he was "very much in talks" for the film, but added that he wasn't available due to his schedule, thus halting things. Here’s what he said:
"There was definitely a movie that I was very much in talks about. I wasn't available, so the train just kind of stopped there. But, had I been available, I would've had to, you know, jump through the studio hoops and jump through the, you know, producer hoops and stuff. But I had a really good shot, and it's a movie that I really, really like.
"It was probably a good thing because my ex-girlfriend was on there and so that probably would have been awkward, so it probably worked out for the best. I think that whole cast was amazing. I probably would've messed that up for a lot of people had I been a part of it, so probably best I didn't. But that would've been cool."
From what I understand Ryan Reynolds was the one actually pushing the film to get made from the beginning, so I’m not sure when Ackles was being considered, because Reynolds was always involved. In fact, he produced and even financed part of this film. I couldn’t find anything that says the studio was even looking for other actors to play Deadpool. But, maybe there was a moment when they were looking at other actors.
Regardless, Reynolds is the perfect Deadpool, and while Ackles is a good actor, there’s no way he would have been able to effectively pull off this character.
I’ve just happy with what we’ve seen from the Deadpool movies and I’m especially excited for Deadpool 3, with the return of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine!
What do you think about all this? Do you think Ackles would have made a good Deadpool?
